About this deal

Then again, Alastair Cook does mention in the 2013 foreword that CWW has been a key source for Graeme Swann’s sledges and dressing room “bants” over the years, so maybe it does have some things to answer for. The 43rd edition of The Cricketers’ Who’s Who tells you all you need to know about every player from all 18 counties, as well as the contracted women’s players.

If you’re looking for something else to watch, check out our TV Guide or Streaming Guide, or visit our Sport hub for all the latest news. The headlines are two World Cup triumphs and the barely believable heroics at Headingley in 2019, but beyond those historic occasions, Stokes has so regularly turned matches for his team.Or try to keep a dry eye upon reading which animal Mason Crane would choose to be: “A tortoise, because they are always home. In an early preface he thanked a “Mr Bill Smith FRPS” for personally taking nearly all the photographs.

The all-rounder touches on the impact of limited-overs cricket, the need to look at the structure of county cricket as well as pay, and the pros and cons of overseas players.The professional contracts at the time not stretching to 12 months, all but the most well-off or successful players had to find winter employment.

Murtagh and his Middlesex teammates would no doubt have a chuckle at the assortment of perms, combovers and luxuriously meaty sideburns on offer in the early 1980s editions.Azam possesses sparkling statistics in Tests, ODIs and T20s, and has often had to carry significant pressure in a subpar Pakistan batting line-up. There are profiles of all the head coaches, a look at how each county is shaping up for the new season, and fixture lists for the England men’s and women’s teams. Keep them up to date with the latest opinions, the best sports-writing and the most comprehensive reports on their favourite game. Detailed career statistics are included for each player, plus there is a round-up of the 2022 season, including tables, averages and MVPs. Kent’s Darren Stevens is invariably cited by fellow players in The Cricketer’s’ Who’s Who as the bowler they would least like to face.

The 160th edition of the most famous sports book in the world – published every year since 1864 – contains some of the world’s finest sports writing. Since averaging over 110 in the 2019 Ashes, the Sydney native has been slightly less productive in Test cricket, but remains among the elite batters in the longest format. To use a traditional, and somewhat simplistic, measure of an all-rounder, Shakib’s batting average is higher than his bowling average in Tests, ODIs and T20s. More than 400 players have answered questions ranging from their views on the structure of county cricket to the things that give them joy, giving readers a unique insight into everyone who will be competing this summer, from emerging youngsters to established England stars such as Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer. Over the next 26 pages we preview the new season, analysing how the 18 counties are shaping up, speaking to a quartet of skippers about the challenges they face, picking out a handful of emerging talents, and profiling two clubs with big ambitions.

Initially starring for Pakistan in white-ball formats, Babar Azam has evolved into one of the country’s greatest ever batters. With the white ball in hand, he has a hostile bouncer which complements his variations and ability to perform a pinpoint yorker. Late March’s balmy sunshine turned to sleet and snow last week, a sure sign that the English county cricket season is about to start.
